That shiat sucks the soul out of you. America is too corporate. They don't care about your family, only theirs. And that family is stockholders. There I said it. I'm a communist fascist Libtard.

One of the more obnoxious things about retail now is the introduction of the on-call shift. I know some temporary workers this season who have to call in an hour before their shift starts to see if they even have a shift that day. It really sucks if that person has arranged babysitting etc. only to find out the shift has been canceled. This affects a whole lot more people than just the worker who is getting screwed out of shifts.

Maybe sales wouldn't be so slow if everything wasn't so disgustingly overpriced. $27 for a hardcover? $65 for a video game? Up yours, assholes. You wanted higher prices, well you got 'em. Now don't be disappointed when gift lists shrink and everyone left on them only gets one item instead of multiple. The amount of money to be spent hasn't changed, so why should your sales at the new, higher prices go up? I guess you and your shareholders will just have to rent out your beach house this year instead of letting the kids use it. Awwww.

Some businesses cut hours in the winter because business slows down. Except they still need the staff. And the managers end up working 16 hour days and eventually get burned out and quit. And the weird thing is they pay managers more than the minimum wage slaves.

I hate Christmas so much.
